Concept understanding — Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

Faraday's laws state that a changing magnetic flux linked with a closed circuit induces an emf in it, with magnitude ∣E∣=N dΦB/dt|\mathcal{E}|=N\,d\Phi_B/dt, or, including Lenz's law's direction as a minus sign, E=−N dΦB/dt\mathcal{E}=-N\,d\Phi_B/dt. The induced emf exists only while the flux is actually changing, and only the RATE of change matters -- a small change happening quickly can induce a larger emf than a big change happening slowly. Flux can change because the field BB changes, the area AA changes, or the angle θ\theta between them changes (equivalently, because a conductor moves through the field).
